Hello everyone! ^_^ This is Rich and I'm here to conclude the previous Community Project and start another... Last time, I learnt a lot of important things about how to host and do a project such as this one and so, there are a few changes to the rules but first, thanks to all of the amazing writers and bloggers that embraced this project and wrote their own blogs... Here they are (click on the name and you'll go to the blog):

There they are... If someone still wants to do it, go ahead and let me know so I can add them to this list... Anyway, let's get going to the rules.

RULES:

1st: The theme is to be followed, a bit of topic is OK (good knows I can't stick to a topic that well) but try to limit this.

2rd: Your blog must have their link posted in the comments of this blog (Some people did not follow this rule and I found their blogs by pure luck so please, follow this rule)

THEME: Some moments can define an entire generation or separate the gold from the garbage... This moments are important and so, they deserve to be treated with care... in the form of a blog! This Project consist on you choosing your favorite moment for each category I present and after that, if you wish, you can introduce your own categories... I tried to make the categories as different as I could, ensuring that they would be a variety for the moments chosen... Anyway, the categories are:

Awe (mindblowing moments)

Scary

Romantic

Funny

Musical

FUCK YEAH! (can't even explain... Just a moment were you were like: FUCK YEAH! Now really, the explanation would be EPIC moments)

Sad

*any others you might wish to include*

There you go... Those are the themes! Now, ladies and gentleman, I present:

RICH'S COMMUNITY PROJECT: "Top Moments"

Warning: Obvious spoilers... Proceed with caution!

AWE MOMENT: Leaving Vault 101 (Fallout 3)

Your character grew up in the safety of the Vault, hearing tales about the "Capital Wasteland" above... After being forced to leave the Vault, you suddenly step into the light... As your eyes adapt to it, you start to see it... The "Capital Wasteland" where your adventure will start... As your radio signal (from the Vault) fades, you get to see kilometers and kilometers (miles and miles) of destroyed land and ruined cities as you realize how alone and how hopeless this land is... I can't even describe the feelings I had when I experienced this for the 1st time but two things were certain: Goosebumps and Jaw Drop... The moment after leveling up, walking aimlessly through the land with only silence upon you is also something that marked me for life... And some people say that videogames can't be art!

SCARY MOMENT: Moment that made me never want to open a door again (Outlast)

This is pretty cool because I have my original gameplay uploaded to YouTube so you can see it with me! Anyway, I've made the moment start almost immediately so the hyperlink will take you to the video which will start on the correct part (I'm so smart... )... Anyway, here's the video! I don't even have words for this moment just fuck that dude... Oh, now that were talking about scary moments... Fuck this guy for that moment we all know:

ROMANTIC MOMENT: Lanterns and I see the Light (Tangled)

(T_T) I don't know enough words to say how pretty this moment is... The atmosphere, the music, everything is perfect... This moment is mainly one of the reasons why this is my favorite movie ever!

FUNNY MOMENT: Motto To Love Ru

Can't even choose a moment... Recently, I started watching a new anime and it's freaking hilarious... It just kills me! Anyway, watch it and love it but first, keep in mind that you first need to watch "To Love Ru" (and it's OVAs which are also very important story-wise) which comes before "Motto To Love Ru"... Oh, you should also notice that this is an Ecchi anime so viewer discretion is advised... Anyway, here's Motto To Love Ru; To Love Ru and a description of Ecchi if you don't know what it is...

MUSICAL MOMENT: For the First Time in Forever (Frozen)

Fantastic song from a fantastic movie... The song is happy with a nice tone and is (IMO) the best music to have yet appeared in a Disney movie (yes... Let it Go is 2nd place, don't worry)...

Two clips showing the scene... One from the anime and the other from NUNS 2. I actually thought the videogame one was more EPIC but the Jiraya reference in the anime was pretty cool... Anyway, an epic scene and a badass entrance to rivalize with Sasuke and Kakashi's entrance in the Chuunin Exam finals... Only a few years late Naruto but you did it...

SAD MOMENT: Marley's death (Marley & Me)

I don't usually cry but with this scene I'm helpless... I was just searching it to place it here and as I was seeing it to see if it's all good, I started to cry again... This scene always hits me where it hurts and the touching message it delivers is very beautiful...

Well, that's it guys (and gals)... I have chosen to remove the tagging rule because of some problems it originated but please, participate and try to spread this project because it's only fun if a lot of people participate right? Anyway, this was Rich and I can't wait to read your participation!

First of all, NEW HEADER! Really happy with how it worked out... Let me know in the comments what do you think about it...

Hey guys, I'm here to start a blog that I think that's a really good idea... Lately, this community has been way more lazy than it used to (sorry, but it's true) and so, there's a shortage of movement around IGN... People don't blog as much anymore (in general) and so, people like Lost_in_Translation have been trying to make people more active with projects like the Weekly Blog Theme which I'd advise everyone to participate... I thought that I'd like to help as well and so, I decided to do this:

I'll think of a topic, write about it, then "tag" 3 and they would have (no one is forced to do it but please...) to write about said topic and then "tag" 3 other people (that haven't been tagged) for them to write about it... The purpose is to generate a shitload of blogs and to get more people into blogging and reading blogs... Before I begin, I'll say the rules and the theme:

RULES:

1st: The theme is to be followed, a bit of topic is OK (good knows I can't stick to a topic that well) but try to limit this.

2nd: You have to "tag" active members that will most likely write their blogs.

3rd: Your blog and the blog of the people that you tag (in general, all blogs) must have their link posted in the comments of this blog

With the rules out of the way, I'll hereby explain the theme:

THEME: Since this is my first time doing this, I didn't want to delve into a very complex topic but I could only think of really complex ones such as "Life's Soundtrack" or even "Create your own game" but I'll do those further down the road... This time, I'll do a topic that's really close to the Weekly Blog Theme... This week, LiT asked us to write about our favorite villains. I'll ask you to write about 4 characters, your 2 favorite villains (1 male and 1 female) and your 2 favorite heroes (again, 1 male and 1 female). Without further ado, let's get this started:

RICH'S COMMUNITY PROJECT - "Villains and Heroes"

MALE VILLAIN - Uchiha Madara

Uchiha Madara from Naruto is an overpowered villain who seeks to release the "Mugen Tsukyomi no Jutsu" which is to release a genjutsu on the moon that will affect everyone on Earth, getting them into a world created by Madara, making him to be almost like an almighty god that can control everything in that world... This would mean that freedom would be lost so Naruto and every other shinobi (ninja) are fighting the 4th Great Ninja War.

Madara possesses the Rinnegan (the most powerful ocular "power" of all) and also possesses the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan which gives him an incredible battle strength... Madara is sort of an insane man, looking for power and strenght and obsessed with it. Madara has amazing jutsus and a incredible close combat skills... Here's some gifs that show that:

This GIFs show you his power and I explained a bit of his back-story... He is truly awesome and perhaps one of the best villains ever made

Honorable Mentions: General Shepherd, Albert Wesker, The Joker, Raul Menendez and Father Comstock

FEMALE VILLAIN - Mother Gothel

Mother Gothel is from Disney's Tangled which is basically, my favorite movie ever and one of the reasons that make that movie so awesome is that it possesses a fantastic villain. Mother Gothel is manipulative, evil and also somewhat funny... Gothel had a flower that she used to keep her young forever but, the queen of the kingdom got sick and everyone in the kingdom set out to look for that flower that Gothel had hidden. The kingdom's people find the flower and give it as a drink to the queen which got better. Gothel lost her flower and so when the queen had her daughter, Rapunzel, Gothel slipped inside the castle and kidnapped Rapunzel. She locked her in a tower, raising her as her own child to use her hair to keep her young forever. This movie is fantastic and the villain is superb... My favorite movie ever so I'd definitely advise you to view it!

Here are some of her best moments:

This is how Disney decided to introduce Mother Gothel in a reveal before the movie came out:

Honorable Mentions: Katherine Marlowe

MALE HERO: Uzumaki Naruto

Guys, I know that this is a big surprise so just calm down and listen:

This dude is simply fantastic... He's funny, not that bright and he's the character I can relate the most (clumsy, values his friends over anything else, went through loneliness, etc...) Through the anime, we get to see his evolution and him growing up... Almost seems like we are growing up alongside him and just witnessing him going from an "useless nuisance" to the "Hero of Konoha" is one of the most brilliant things ever! Here are some GIFs that show more about him:

This was a very troublesome decision for me since Rapunzel from Tangled is also awesome and for some time, she was the main contender for the 1st place but Anna eventually took it... Anna is Elsa's sister and she lives in Arendelle with her sister and her parents but after an accident, she suddenly couldn't see her sister anymore and was also "sealed" in the castle... After her parent's tragic death, she found herself truly alone and she stayed that way until the moment of where Frozen's story starts to "grow"... Anna is far from being the perfect princess but that's exactly why she's freaking awesome! She's clumsy, funny, childish (in a good way) and always on a good mood! She's my favorite Disney character so far and she has one of the best personalities I've ever seen in a movie... Truly fantastic!

That's it on my part... Hope you guys enjoyed it and now, onto the tags!

Firstly, this post and Community Project was based on the Weekly Blog Theme topic that Lost_in_Translation chose so I think it's logical that I will tag him...

Second, he's an amazing person, always there to help and is one of the most active members around here... I tag KRATOSGODOFWARIII

Finally, I have not know this member for long but he's awesome and he's also an amazing person and an active member... Even though I haven't talked a lot to him, my final tag goes to mk1982

Well, that's enough for today... Let me know what you think about this blog in the comments and please, if you do get tagged and do a blog like this one, leave the link in the comments... Till next time!

Hello everyone, it's Rich and sorry I haven't been blogging but exams have been all over me but it'll soon be over and after that, I will start blogging a lot more and do some stuff that I have planned (will develop this in another blog post)... This blog post is to talk about villains... I have missed so many opportunities to do one of the Weekly Blog Themes but my schedule wouldn't let me and even though I always wanted, I couldn't complete it in time... Sorry LiT! Anyway, I won't miss it this time and so, let's get to the villains!

It is impossible for me to choose a favorite villain due to the fact that most of them are fantastic so I decided to go a bit off-topic and just place those I think that kind of distinguished themselves from the rest... Well, let's start!

General Shepherd

This guy is the biggest s.o.b ever! This dude is one of the best villains presented and he is from a Call of Duty game (MW2)... This franchise is now associated with multiplayer but in the MW2 time, although the multiplayer was the best, the campaign exceeded others and made us feel good or bad for the characters as much as a good movie... He is one of the best villains ever for the simple reason that he comes in (as a villain) with a bang in one of the best videogame scenes ever made:

That music combined with this epic and important scene where you are betreyed and burned alive as you hear Price shouting through the walkie-talkie: "Do NOT trust Shepherd! I repeat, do NOT trust Shepherd"

In the end, this s.o.b gets what he deserved in the best manner possible:

Albert Wesker

Overpowered, can kick a lot of ass... Yup, definitely fits the awesome villain category... This dude has a lot of backstory but I'll focus on the events of Resident Evil 5. In this game, this dude had the virus in him and that made him able to dodge bullets and lift missiles! He's so freaking awesome... Just watch:

The fight that follows that EPIC moment is also epic... Wesker releases his final transformation and the awesome ending to that fantastic game begins:

PS: The guy playing the final scene has the infinite ammo mode...

Mother Gothel

Surprised? Well, I LOVE Disney's movies but they started to decay with movies like The Princess and the Frog which I didn't like that much (have to watch it again someday) but out of the blue, Disney released Tangled (Entrelaçados is the movie's name here in Portugal) which I viewed when it aired on TV, on Christmas Eve... It was the way for Disney to come back with a bang and they continued with the good work with the amazing Frozen... The classic Disney movies are awesome but I have to say: TANGLED IS MY FAVOURITE DISNEY MOVIE! Perfect music, awesome story and characters but something that completely puts the movie into a whole new level is the fantastic villain... Unlike the other villains on this list, she isn't very skilled in combat or anything of the sort but she is one of the best villains ever because she can completely manipulate and do some fantastic mind-games...

She kidnapped Rapunzel, locked her in a tower and successfully made her believe that she should not leave it for her own safety. With an obsessive behavior about beauty and Rapunzel's hair (view the movie again... Almost every time she touches Rapunzel is on her hair). This villain is perfect and very well designed and voiced... The best example of her geniality is a great song that appears in the movie. After Rapunzel asks her to leave, she starts showing reasons as to why Rapunzel shouldn't leave the tower... Manipulation at it's best:

Another awesome scene between Mother Gothel and Rapunzel shows how mean and evil she can be... One minute she's all sweet but when Rapunzel stands up to her... Well... Shit hits the fan:

Uchiha Madara

And back to the overpowered villains with the last entry on this list... Last but not least, we have Uchiha Madara, one of the best ninjas ever and he's the main villain at the point of the anime is currently at... This dude is just so OP that I can't even express... It isn't really expressed his motivations yet (in the anime at least) so he basically comes up as a quite shallow character but that doesn't change his fantastic moments and how he is the greatest challenge that Naruto has ever found... Remember Pain? Zabuza? Chukaku? Orochimaru? None of them even compares to Madara... I could spend all my day here, writing about him and I would still not come close to describing how EPIC this dude is... So instead, I leave here a video that will blow your mind:

It is long but it is worthwhile... Anyway, this concludes my blog! Hope you guys liked it and I hope I can write more soon!

Before starting this, let me say that in the time that I was without my PC, I thought a lot about this story and it's future and thought of some pretty cool things so the story might be different and have some "mistakes" according to things that have been said in past chapters... Having this said, let's advance into IGN's World...

PS: I recommend going through the previous two chapter to refresh your memory about the events of the story...

IGN's World - Chapter 3

Leaf and I were standing in front of a castle-like building in which the greatest guild of all is situated... I was completely speechless but after a while, I finally managed to say:

-This is our guild now? We're part of Fairy Tail?

Kratos smiled as if he expected this question all along and then, he looked me right in the eyes and said:

-That depends on you!

In that moment, confusion took control of me and as I prepared to ask a lot of question to Kratos, he picked Leaf over his shoulder (Leaf wasn't very happy!) and started walking towards the door and I quickly followed both of them getting closer and closer to Fairy Tail's building and when we were closed enough, Kratos opened the door and got inside.

I didn't... I couldn't... My vision was getting blurry, apparently, the effects of the lightening were a bit more powerful than I expected and I got closer to the door but as I was trying to reach for the doorknob, I fell in the ground and quickly lost my senses...

I woke up lying down in a bed and all I could hear was a strange and very loud noise! I got out of the bed just to realize that my body was fully healed and I couldn't feel pain on where I felt before but even though this is great, I still needed to find out what was this frightening sound and so, I gathered all my courage and followed it to a closed door...

I stood at the door listening to that sound and started to feel fear on what might be behind that door...

It must be the roar of a monster! It is definitely a monster! Most likely a Minotaur! Or maybe the Kraken!

I took a deep breath and quickly opened the door and my eyes immediately detected the origin of the loud noise...

You have got to be kidding me!

In front of me stood the "thing" that was making that sound!

Somehow, I thought it would be bigger!

-Leaf, get up!

Suddenly, Leaf woke up and stood up looking at me and smiling... He spoke to me:

-Rich! You're here! Anyway, this doesn't look like Fairy Tail, where are we?

-Leaf, I don't know where we are... I passed out... Did you...

Before I could finish talking, an eagle entered through the window of the small room in which Leaf and I stood... The eagle dropped a letter onto my hands before turning back and flying quickly through the window. I looked at the envelope I held in my hands and Leaf was intrigued as well so without delays, I quickly tore the envelope apart and opened the letter which was hand-written with ink.

The letter had the following written on it:

Rich and Leaf,

I hope both of you are OK... After I went inside the building and placed Leaf in a room so he could rest a bit, I noticed Rich was gone... I found him later in the doorway, completely knocked out. I asked a member of the Fairy Tail guild with the name of Dragonborn (that's how he likes to be called, don't ask...) to cure both of you since he knows healing magic... Anyway, after that, I took both of you to the G.P.S's Facilities where I hope they took good care of you... If you are still on the bedroom's floor, you should head down to the 1st floor where there should be someone waiting for you...

Take care,

Kratos

After reading the letter, me and Leaf got ready and got out of that floor into the stairwell, which was basically a steep round stairwell that just kept going down!

We should hurry up!

Me and Leaf ran down the stair getting quickly to the 1st floor where a man was on top of a pedestal, preparing to speak to a bunch of people who were there... Leaf and I ran towards the group of people but we were stopped by a man with an "old-fashioned" kind of mustache... He then proceeded to stopping to smoke on his pipe and to speak with a strong British accent:

-Who might both of you be?

-I'm Rich and he's Leaf!

After my response, he looked closely at us and then introduced himself:

-I am RCC, but call me Sherlock... Sherlock Holmes!

-RCC... I mean, Sherlock! It's you!

After I spoke, he just smiled, wrote both of our names and characters on a list and then stepped out of the way.

Me and Leaf joined the group of people and when the man on the pedestal saw that Leaf and me had arrived, he started his speech...

-I am honored to welcome you to G.P.S facilities... The G.P.S, as you might not know, stands for Guild Placement System... This is how you will be able to join one of our guilds... Before I start explaining what will come next on your journey to join a guild, I'd like to talk a bit about this world... This world as some of you might not know, has existed for nearly thousands of years... Some people like Mr. Holmes over there, have come from a different world. A world without magic! A very powerful man, which I respect immensely, Kratos opened a portal from their world to ours... They sacrificed their lives on their world to join ours! These man and women must not be treated as outsiders by people who have been born in this world like me... We must work to get together as a giant family and work on ways to develop an ever lasting peace! Now that I have that said, I'll explain the procedures that will happen from now on... Firstly, regarding the bedrooms, they are provided by the G.P.S and are situated on the 5th floor. Each one of you must tidy...

The man dressed in white, holding a staff continued talking as his white beard moved with the wind which came from an open window... Intrigued by this man, I asked to another boy (who I didn't recognize):

-Hey, do you know who is he?

-You don't know? He's Gandalf, the White! The leader of the Council of Magic!

The man continued talking for several minutes:

-And to conclude, I shall explain the process... In the following weeks, you shall (not pass! xD Just Kidding!) be trained in the arts best suited for you in order to pass your final exam. Simple as that may seem, the final exam will be observed by the leaders of this world's guilds... Preform well and you may gather their attention and approval so you may enter the guild which you like the most. Each one of you will have a master whose purpose will be to train you for the final exam... We will start with the Combat Arts... Those of you more oriented for this arts, step forward...

Both me and Leaf, as well as the majority of other people in that room took a step forward. After that, Gandalf resumed his speech:

-Good... I will now call your name and you shall enter the portal I'll summon. Each portal will take you to a room where your master awaits...

Gandalf, started calling a lot of names and as he did this, the anticipation grew... I started to get nervous.

What is this Final Exam all about? Who will be my master? Will he be any good?

-Leaf, also known as Edward Elric.

Gandalf's voice called Leaf's name and as he did this, Leaf took a step forward into the portal that Gandalf had summoned. As soon as Leaf stepped into it, the portal closed.

-Rich, also known as Uzumaki Naruto (in most animes/mangas, the surname comes before the 1st name)

I stood up (was sitting on the ground) and took a step forward as I breathed slowly, trying to calm down. Gandalf pointed it's staff onto the floor in front of me and a portal appeared... It was a kind of door made of energy to which I could see no end... It looked as a small hurricane made of pure arcane power. I entered it and I started spinning at incredible speeds. When, I looked around, I was in a small room where a man looked at me from behind his desk.

The man with dark hair stood up and approached me:

-Rich, good to see you here! It looks like I'm your master from now on!

The man had a big and kind smile but I couldn't recognize who he might be... All I knew is that he was from the "real" world just like me!

-I'm sorry, but who are you?

My question didn't seem to upset him... He just smiled and said:

-It's me, zafarooq, or in this world, the Prince!

Who the hell is the Prince?

-The Prince?

-I am... the Prince of Persia!

-Zafa, you're the Prince of Percia? That's so cool!

He smiled hearing my comment and asked:

-Before we begin our training, is there anything you want to ask?

-A lot! But most importantly, what is the Final Exam?

Zafa looked at me as if he was already expecting this question... After a bit of time thinking, he answered:

-It depends on your art, your speciality... Since yours is Combat, it'll be a tournament... A fighting tournament between all of you who are doing the G.P.S exams! The fights in the tournament are rough and will go on until one of you is no longer able to fight, one of you concedes or when one of you...

... is dead!

END OF CHAPTER 3

Next Episode: I start my training with zafa in order to get strong enough to succeed in the exam and earn a spot in Fairy Tail... Do I have what it takes to make it through the hard training?

Hello everyone... Lately, I have been building an idea in my head... A thought, a daydream I had during one of my Math classes… (Don’t judge me!) That idea started growing more and more until it became more than that… It became a project I have to do! Something I MUST make! As some of you might know, I’m writing a book but it’s still somewhat confidential so I’ll keep it a secret but this idea went in that direction, an awesome story that couldn’t stay trapped in my head, it had to come out into the paper and be shared… (Un)fortunately, such idea could not become a book because it required close contact with the readers (if it was a book, I wouldn’t know many of my readers) and it would probably break a lot of copyrights since the base of the idea is on other people’s ideas… Confused? Good because that just builds the suspense… Anyway, because of these problems, the idea and the story it generated couldn’t become a book so I thought, where could I find these conditions? A place where copyright couldn’t hit me, a place where I could share this story and a place where I had close contact with my readers and where else could that place be if not in the most awesome community ever! Here in MyIGN (not saying IGN because that’s the main-page and everyone knows the community on those wild sides)…

Anyway, time for the revelation! My idea is a story (that much you already know) where the characters are no more than all of you IGN members yourselves! The story revolves around an idea I had… What if, all of the IGN members gained the appearance and “powers” of fictional characters (from games, movies, TV shows, animes…) and where sent to another “world” or “dimension”? This might sound really stupid but I loved the idea and started building it in my mind until a point where I was (and am) certain that I NEED to write it and so I decided that firstly, I would share my idea and some details about it…. Then, I would write the 1st episode and then, only time will tell…

To start I shall make the most shocking announcement that will appear in this blog post: Each one of us will become characters that we love but I will not become Naruto! Confused that I’m not going to be my favorite character? Well, this has a very simple explication… While Naruto is in fact my favorite character, there is one other who is very similar to him in every way but has more explicit weaknesses and a power that adapts better to the kind of story that I want to write… I mean, Kage Bushin and Rasengan are great but this is it… There isn’t much space for me to go… Naruto is very focused on sentimentalism and awesome physiological battles (Itachi vs Sasuke and Sasuke vs Naruto for example) which is what makes Kishimoto a genius but I am not Kishimoto… The kind of battles that I have planned and imagined for my story requires a more straight forward focus… A more “in-your-face” action style is something I think would be more beneficial to the kind of story that I will write… That is why my 2nd favorite character is perfect… His battles are the more “in-your-face” that can be and his powers are really cool! I am talking about Natsu from Fairy Tail...

Badass!

This guy is badass but you’ll have plenty of time to see that through the story… The 1st chapter is coming soon and I hope you’re hyped for this! I haven’t written it yet and it might (or not) take a while to come out but I hope the wait will be worthwhile! Stay tuned for more!
